Chapter Summary

This chapter on Table of Instruments contains a list of Legally Binding International Instruments. Concluding that the precautionary principle embodies customary international law is one thing. Determining what this means is quite another. That challenge is met by this book, which resolves a number of crucial questions concerning the scope of this principle of international environmental law; the conditions triggering a right or duty to take precautionary action; the measures to be taken; the allocation of the burden of proof; and the role of socio-economic factors.
